New EV Charging Location in New Hampshire near Massachusetts

Charge Up Your EV Vocabulary

As with any new technology, there's a learning curve. And if we're honest about it, there are a few unknowns that drive some resistance. But the truth is, owning an EV is easier than ever before, and things like range anxiety and charging inconveniences are a thing of the past. So if you're on the road with your new EV in search of electric vehicle charging stations near Salem and you don't know what to do, the following points should help you:

• Your NAV Is Your Friend - If you're driving an EV, your car is new enough to be equipped with a navigation feature that will show you where the nearest charging location is. Much like when a gas engine vehicle runs low, and little fuel pumps dot your navigation map, EV charging stations will pop up so you can easily find one. See your owner's manual to activate this feature.
• EVs Can Charge Faster Than You Think - Did the checkout person at the gas station tell you you'll never find electric charging stations in New Hampshire? Wrong! And what's more, it doesn't take long for your vehicle to charge up on the go. The average miles per hour at a Level 2 station is between 20 and 30 miles. If your vehicle is equipped with a higher capacity onboard charger, you might see 60 miles charged every hour.
• Volts, kW, kWh's, Oh My! - There are a lot of new terms that come with this latest technology. Here are definitions of three new terms that you need to know. Volts are the electrical equivalent of water pressure — the more volts, the more pressure. The kilowatt (kW) is the net amount of power. So you might see vehicles listed with a 60-kW, 80-kW, or 120-kW battery pack. In a sense, kW size is the "size of your engine" and subsequent power capabilities (much like saying a 4-cylinder engine, 6-cyl, 8-cyl, etc.). A kilowatt-hour (kWh) is an "amount" of electric power and is the electric equivalent of a "gallon of gas." On average, 30 kWh yields 100 miles.

Finding EV Charging Stations in New Hampshire

Let's say you've charged up at an electric vehicle charging station in Salem and have traveled through the Granite State to visit grandma, hang out with some friends, or take in some incredible scenery.

Here's another hot tip: We've got a Level-2 charger on-site at Patriot Nissan. This charger is available to anyone with a PHEV (plugin hybrid) or EV. All other makes and models are welcome! Here's how it works. When you come on-site to use our Level-2 charger, introduce yourself at reception and ask to speak with a sales manager.
